The Kingdom of Heaven

This is kind of an extra -- not my post for today.

I took a quiz over at Quiz Farm which is designed to figure out your answer to the question, "What is the Kingdom of God?"

I'm not sure about my answer -- as I answered the questions, I kept thinking to myself that each one was too narrow a description for the Kingdom of Heaven.

I guess my answers reflect two items -- I do not think that we should withdraw from the world -- as Christians, we are meant to be involved in the world. I also think that the Kingdom of God is not something that we wait around for -- it's here and now (and then and there). One of the last things I would say about myself, though, is that I think the Kingdom is a "Christianised Society." So for what it is worth, here is what the quiz says about me, although I don't agree with it.

Maybe I really think the Kingdom is all of these things -- and none of these things.

You scored as Kingdom as a Christianised Society. Christians shouldn't withdraw from the world, but by being present in it they can transform it. The kingdom is not only spiritual, but social, political, and cultural.
